Classical Commentary
Some commentators take the two halves of this verse as two independent sentences and interpret it thusSo it is? O Supreme Lord, as Thou hast declared Thyself to be. (But still) I desire to see Thy form as Isvara? O Supreme Person. Rupamaisvaram Thy form as Isvara, that of Vishnu as possessed of infinite knowledge, sovereignty, power, strength, prowess and splendour.
